While the majority of these children are recovered, the process of return and reunification has often been difficult and frustrating. Less than 10% of these children and their families receive any kind of assistance and guidance in the reunification process (Hatcher, Barton, and Brooks, 1989). Further, the average length of time between the parents' appearance to pick up their recovered child and their departure to go home is only 15 minutes (Hatcher, Barton, and Brooks, ibid.). Professionals involved with these families, including investigating law enforcement officers, mental health/social service professionals, and victim/witness personnel, have all recognized the need for: (1) a knowledge base about missing children and their families, (2) a clearer understanding of the missing! abduction event and its consequences to chHd and family, and (3) guidelines and training to develop a coordinated multi-agency approach to assisting these child victims and theirfamilies.

Stayner was hiking through Yosemite when he sawJoie outside of her cabin. He "duct-taped her and gagged her" and put her into his truck. Joie fought Stayner and, at one point, jumped out of the truck and attempted to get away from him. In response, Stayner took a knife from his bag, slit Joie's throat, and then decapitated her.' Stayner was apprehended shortly after killing Joie and confessed to her murder.2 Stayner also confessed to the brutal murders of three female tourists outside of Yosemite.' The national media focused its attention on the deaths of these four women and the public demanded a harsh punishment for Stayner.4 In the midst of this intense media attention, Joie's family sent a letter to the United States Government supporting a plea agreement for Stayner.5 Despite their anger, sorrow, and grief, the Armstrong family recommended a life sentence * J.D.

His expertise was invaluable, and I could not have completed this thesis without his constant feedback and support. I also owe special thanks to Dr. Michelle Brown, who first introduced me to punitive politics and reformative justice in her Sociology 456: Punishment and Society course. It is because of this class that I found a new perspective on social accountability and healing, inspiring me to dig deeper into how sex offender registrations took shape in the United States and how they may have gone too far.

  • The Secret Costs of Seeking Execution in California
    The hidden Tax: The Secret Costs of Seeking Execution in California A report by the ACLU of Northern California Table of Contents 1 Executive Summary 3 Introduction 5 Section I Why Does the Death Penalty Cost More? 10 Section II What is Known About the Costs of California’s Death Penalty 34 Section III Recommendations for Reform: Revealing the Hidden Costs 37 Appendix Cost Breakdown for Trials with Most Comprehensive Accounting 40 End Notes Author: Natasha Minsker Research Assistant: Andrew Ziaja Editors: Claire Cooper and Elise Banducci The ACLU of Northern California thanks the State Controller’s Office, California Judicial Council, and the Counties of Stanislaus and Calaveras for their responsiveness to the Public Records Act requests, which made this report possible. Executive Summary While it is clear that California taxpayers spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year seeking execution, far more than any other state, it is unclear just how much money is being spent. Costs to state taxpayers incurred at the post-conviction level may be readily identified; but potentially millions of dollars spent by counties at the trial level remain hidden from public view. This report identifies the known costs at the state level and analyzes for the first time records of actual trial expenses, revealing some of these hidden costs to counties. California taxpayers pay at least $117 million each year at the post-conviction level seeking execution of the people currently on death row, or $175,000 per inmate per year. The largest single expense is the extra cost of simply housing people on death row, $90,000 per year per inmate more than housing in the general prison population.
